She waited in the garden where the flowers were in bloom
She opened the letter gently as she inhaled sweet perfume
Vines hung from the entrance and her eyes were bright with tears
She didn't want to see the words that she knew might be there
She waited in the garden to see if he would come
She hoped that he would be here before the morning dawned
Her dark hair hung below her waist, her gown was white as snow
Her eyes were brimming with fresh tears, she couldn't stop the flow
She felt the darkening shadows and a chill swept through her soul
And then she felt his presence and her spirit began to soar
His hand reached out to touch her and he kissed away the tears
Her lover pulled her close to him and her fears quickly disappeared
They stayed within love's shadow until the sun rose in the sky
He held her close enough to hear her passion when she cried
Her voice was but a whisper against his solid chest
But he felt the love within her as her body gently pressed
Love's shadows turned to morning and sweet fragrance filled the air
Two bodies bound together by a passion that was their's
Sand * * *
